Trauma Recovery Treatment

Devereux offers a safe, caring environment to support the recovery
of girls and young women who have experienced sexual, physical
and emotional trauma. For over 40 years in Georgia, our
therapeutic residential programs have provided sophisticated
treatment for youth who are victims of sexual abuse and trauma.
In recent years, Devereux Georgia has developed specialized and
focused treatment for girls who have experienced commercial
sexual exploitation.

These youth are in desperate need of a protected environment that
offers a sense of security and predictability. Treatment strategies
are designed to help the girls understand victimization and learn
the skills needed to create a different life for themselves.

Treatment components include:

Assessment of trauma symptoms/issues

Development of an individualized treatment plan to
address identified issues

Psychopharmacological interventions to help stabilize
depressive and post-traumatic stress symptoms

Family Therapy to involve the family in the youth's
treatment and recovery

Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) group
therapy – specialized group therapy for female youth who have
been victims of commercial sexual exploitation. This group
utilizes the Strive for Respect Curriculum which focuses on self respect,
safety, healthy relationships, sexual health, developing a
complete life story, and an individualized safety and recovery plan.

Almost all of my child's needs
have been met. She seems to be
on the right track since she came
to Devereux. Her therapist has
done a great job working with
her and would definitely
recommend Devereux. - Parent
